PREACHERS IN PoL1TICs.

We are not In favor Of calling a
constitutional convention ut this
time, but when such q convention
is called we have one suggestion to
make, and it is that the section OF
our old constitution which prohib-
Its ministers of the gospel engag.
Ing in politics, be re-enacted.
We yield to no one in reverence
for the Office of ministers of the
gospel. Indeed, their work is far
too sacred and highly exalted above
other ~avocations to be dragged into
the dubious paths of politics. AL
though history tells of States and
Kingdoms that have failed to sur
vive q union between Church and
State, we soc even in free America;
and stranger still, in South Carolina
ministers who forsake the work of
the Master to enjoy the honor of
their fellOwmen-such honor as
comes from holding n public office.
Quite a number of ministers are
members Of the present legislature
Of South Carolina. From q close
observation of the proceedings of
the late session, we say emphati-
cally that they r out of place.
The Legislature is not the place for
sermons, although each of the cler-
zeal legislators have taken occasion
to deliver several sermons at a cost
to the State Of from $500 to $500
each. These mouthy members are
responsible for the hurried legisla-
ton that always results when time
is wasted in h%igh-1own, Irrelevant
oratory.
The work Of q minister is Of
greater Importance even than that
of a legislator; yet it is different,
and we think should be performed
separate and apart from legislative
work.

Serious Accident.

Dave Wilson of Truly met with a very
serious accident last Saturday, and mar
rowly escaped tossing the sight of his right
eye. He was surveying a piece of land,
and while sighting over a sharpened stick
set in the ground, undertook, while in a
kneeling position to pull it up slightly.
The stick was not very tightly ilnbedded
in the ground, and IN pulling it came with
a rush, the sharp enc penetrating the ball
Of his eye. For a time it was considered
doubtful if the sight could be saved, but
to-day We learn that the wound IS healing
nicely and the sight viii be all right.

MONTANA IN GENERAL.

| HELENA, May 16.-A freighter named
Blackabee, possessing ponderous wagon
and four horses, started on Thursday last
| from Jurgens 6 Prices establishment on
Clore street with load of miscellaneous
freight; destined for Sun River Proceed
ing down the valley a few miles, the
thought struck him that he did not care
to proceed any further and detaching the
| animals from the wagon, hitehed them to
a telegraph pole near by, and ABANDONING
| lsie--aE-e-zs- 1-rtztsareu On foot to Helena.
Arriving here he proceeded Immediately
to partake of the wine that cheers, and
wholly unmindful Of his team and cargo,
succeeded admirably in bowling up and
painting the ,i.ss7, "a roseate hue. He
applied the colo Vnship hi = ao aster hand and
after two Gays debaasassssese yesterday
turned up unannounced at the store from
whence he started totally ohlivious of his
Experiences of the previous forty-eight
Hours
When asked about his team and load of
merchandise, he was unable to give sat
sisfaetory explanation and a messenger
was sent ont in search of the missing
freight In the meanwhile, Sandy Lane
happening in that direction, espied the
animals tied as when left, thouglryith no
owner in sight. Fearing that all was not
right and that the driver had been sum
mlrily dealt with, he drove the outfitbac
to town, arriving here yesterday.
The horses were pretty well tagged out,
having eaten or drank nothing in all that
time, and reached here more dead than
alive. The merchandise in the wagon
had not been molested, and save the suf
fering of the horses ant, the delay, and the
momentary anxiety caused by the disap-
pearance of the freighter, no serious dam
age has been done. The conveyance now
stands in front of the store, and weather
permitting and whisky barred, the
freighter will make another attempt TO
pull out TOR his. destination tomorrow
morning. The freight is eonsi gned to the
Sun River country, and good luck per-
mitting, it should reach that locality but
few days overdue.

BUYING Real Estate.

Knife and his crew with gun. She then
went down to Reed 81 Kinda, who size
conceived to be real jumpers, and having
relieved her mind Of sundry epithets. re-
tired in good order with large store of
ammunition on hand. The town was re-
galed during great part of the middle OF
the day with the spectacle of a woman
who was packing away fencing from some
properly on the brow Of the hill rising
above Main street, one OF the foot hills of
Mount Helena. She worked most indus
trieusly and succeeded in driving off the
fencers after their work was but partially
accomplished.
La the northeastern part of town there
was great excitement all day and jumpers
and defenders Wrestled and yelled like
Comanches over their respective claims
These feints at jumping are going on in
quarters where there is not the shadow of
claim for the jumper to hold the lot or lots,
and lot owners are in many instances pos
sessed OF panic that makes them proceed
to erect fences where their titles are per-
feet and beyond cavil. G. W. Cannon is
put upon the defensive to an extent he had
probably not anticipated, and is one of the
heaviest defenders. George Foote is blow
ing his bugle from Dan to Beersheba and
protesting his Immaculate innocence, while
he threatens the Independent with all sorts
of consequences for publishing his own
statements. With the exception of Foote
and Bloody Knife the jumpers have sense
enough to keep their mouths shut, and as
the probate judge is issuing no deeds to
jumped lots there is no definite means OF
tracing the movement or of the real par
ties engaged in the piracy.
